Methods Of Treating Cyclosporiasis

Rest

Diarrhea and other symptoms of cyclosporiasis can leave patients feeling unwell, weak, and tired. These symptoms might persist even after the primary infection has cleared up. As such, it's important to relax and take some time to let the body recover. Patients should get as much sleep as they possibly can. Listen to the cues the body gives. If you're still feeling tired, for instance, this tends to be a sign more sleep is necessary for recovery.

When symptoms begin to alleviate, patients can slowly increase their level of activity, though they should still get a sufficient amount of rest. Start by sitting outside and breathing fresh air for a few minutes periodically throughout the day. When patients feel well enough, they can also add a short walk outside to their routine.

Nutrition During Recovery

During the recovery process, it is important to ensure the body is receiving enough nutrients to help the immune system fight against cyclosporiasis as effectively as possible. Be sure to eat healthy and balanced foods, and avoid potentially aggravating ones such as spicy foods, fast food, and other unhealthy choices like chips, candy, and high-fat food. At the beginning of treating cyclosporiasis, it can be helpful to follow a diet similar to the one a patient would follow if they had food poisoning. In this case, the most popular choice is the BRAT diet, which stands for bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. These foods are easy for the stomach to tolerate, which means there is less of a chance diarrhea will occur.
